yeah I believe so as well. But I still think it'd be nice to be able to link social medias directly. I feel tacky slapping them on at the end of my eps and it doesn't even generate many followers on those platforms probably because it's not an easy click away.
Yes! Pleaase fix this! I have to use a non-chrome browser to view comments and I never get notified of comments ever, even though I get the promoted series notifications in my gmail so webtoons obviously has my address. I like to respond to everything too so it becomes really difficult for me if people comment on an episode that's not the most recent.
I mean... I'm not sure they could afford my husband XD
Croppy is totally a feature they should add(The image slicer) and to my husband's explanation is something they could easily add and should not cost much as it doesn't require additional servers to run since it uses web assembly.
Comment notification may actually cost them money in extra servers, so I highly highly doubt they will implement it. My husband did it for me because my comic is smaller (less than 15k subs and only gets maybe 50 comments an update) but he tested his program on my friend Soap's comic who gets thousands and errrrrrr it runs a bit slow because of the way the comment system is done.
Have it so that you can upload .png files as well, instead of .jpg being the only acceptable file format.
Scheduling, because I can't tell you the amount of times I've forgotten to update the Webtoons version at the correct time because I scheduled the episode for release on Tapas and my big monkey brain keeps thinking it updated on the Webtoons version, too.
A profile. I don't know, I just thought it'd be kind of cool? Also whenever someone has multiple comics on Webtoons they can just link to their profile instead of posting the individual links of the comics.
Have music and gif support available for Canvas Webtoons, too.
Lastly,I'd like to actually get notified WHEN SOMEONE COMMENTS ON MY COMIC!!!!
I suppose one thing I've often thought would be fun on this and other webcomic site was an active rotating section that shows webcomics banners as they update. It's not really something I'd call necessary or even useful... just kinda fun.
Unlisting some chapters, or even unlisting a whole series, in my opinion is very useful for those who want provide bonus contents for their patron with same experience as webtoon has offered.
Maybe tapas will see this whole thread and decided to implement them (if not implemented yet) heheh
Webassembly works on phones. I'm not knowledgeable about this topic enough to argue it(husband is the one who knows about it), but I know he made the croppy extension work on the andriod and iphone and it did work for awhile until webtoon updated their website. I feel like the bigger issue is that LINE webtoon's app isn't even designed for the creator at all, it is simply for reading (much like the tapas app). You can only publish on desktop browsers.
I would be happy if it would notify me about comments, likes, anything. I also don't like that it counts your own views when you open up the comic. I only want views from other people, not my own. Now if I want to check the comments, I have to open the comic and it counts my every step, making the number innacurate.

Everyones got really good suggestions
I second the motion scheduled updates and comment notifications for creators. And also some kind of way for creators to be able to engage with their audience and with other fellow creators.
Might as well also add hashtags to add in comics as sub-genre like # reincarnation # ghosts # genderbender etc so readers who want to read something specific in a comic will be able to find the one they like instead of being recommended comics that their not interested in (saying this as a reader)

For the love of god, add a Notifications button in the site. It's insufferable to have to go through every single chapter page just to see comments.
The simplest way to improve webtoons will be to get rid of the rating system or at least make people give a explanation that's reasonable before they can rate down because so many people rate people down just to attack the competition. I haven't personally experienced this a lot, but i heard of a lot of people who do and i think that's messed up.
Also webtoons should make a forum like tapas so it will be easier for people to connect and share their work.
I have the same series on Tapas.io, I just do not know how to gain a target audience that is not anime and that is not other. It has been difficult, so I heard of Tapas and they seem to do the same things, but I only have 3 subscribers on this site and would like to know how to gain a target audience to 1000 subscribers on Webtoons, or at least 25 subscribers on tapas.io, this has been a confusing and frustrating process
I've said this before on another thread, but I feel it's appropriate to mention here. The flagging and removal system needs some major adjustments. It occurs way to often that an episode in compliance with the censorship requirements gets taken down, while another episode with similar or worse content gets to stay up because it's a favorite child of Webtoon.
I've heard that Webtoon is unfortunately very understaffed, so it's understandable and I have some empathy but it still needs to be addressed. They need to have an actual live human being verifying flagged episodes against established specific examples of what is okay and what is not okay.
@TadxSarah: That happened to me a week ago. I got so miffed, I started a thread on these forums where we all up-rated each other in order to shore up ratings and repair those which had plummeted. The system shouldn't exist in my opinion, at least on the CANVAS side. It's a cruel thing to subject new, often young creators to.
I'd also:
- Raise the width of episodes to 1000px so they look better on computers and iPads.
- Improve the comment system, so creators actually get alerted when we receive comments! I love reading them, and I like responding, too.
- Allow creators to delete inappropriate comments, be they abuse, spoilers, or plain old creepy.
- Promote a larger variety of small-audience comics.
- Lower the monetization threshold. This one truly baffles me. If smaller comics could run ads, WEBTOON would take in money from them. It may only be a tiny amount per comic, but that adds up when you have thousands of small comics.
- Less censorship and fairer, more consistent moderation. What is OK for big, WEBTOON-backed comics should also be okay for small Canvas comics.
